That map thing on the main page
on: November 14, 2005, 09:32:05 pm
So I'm checking out the map on the main forum page and it's interesting to see where some of the hits are coming from...

Central Russia, Saudia Arabia, and the Philippines? Who knew we had members from there...
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

Looks like there's some people coming in from Korea and Japan.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

I'm interested in the large blips around the VI...I think they're probably from me logging in at school and other computers though :D But yea, if anyone's from an obscure region, they should speak up! It's interesting to hear where we HLPers come from :)

My dot is a bit off, but at least they got the country right.
